Peyton Manning just signed a 96 Million Dollar contract. This got me to thinking about other super athletes and super stars in other vocations, i.e. actors, musicians, etc. and their mega millions of dollars. Just what in the world do they do with all this money?

Better yet, let's imagine we had such unlimited funds available.

So share with us. What in the world you would do with all that money?Would you purchase a tea plantation or 2?

Of course the poll could not possibly contain all the possible answers so we will keep it simple with a few TEA Related choices.

Never drink a "daily grade tea" againMake some tea purchases that I have always held off on due to costDrop everything and TeaTourBuild a TeaRoom of my dreams and attach the home of my dreams to itTeaGarden ... you know ... an Asian influenced garden.

Maybe "Never drink a daily grade tea again" is extreme. But to have the means to never have to, is a very nice situation to be in!

No tea today--YET. Debating on whether I should to out to buy a sketchbook to use as a tea journal. This is only a $5 question, but a yes decision could lead to the journal collecting dust on a shelf because I'm too busy to get to it. Hmm, a $million could buy a lot of time, yes it could!

Edit: Still pondering a tea journal. Made a cup of Darjeeling 2nd flush.

ok.. I'm probably the exception, but I would purchase some teas and teaware which I cannot currently due to budget. That is all. I'd probably pay off everything and maybe get a townhouse. I'm easily pleased I guess.

First the house, then the college funds, and if there was enough left over after a few more causes were taken care of, some extra fine tea, and perhaps some of the more expensive teawares I've drooled over would look nice in the new teaware display case.

Today was notable for some not super expensive but really pleasing teawares, and fine tea--San Nen Bancha, deeply toasty-roasty yet sweet, and a good session with some Wu Niu Zao, a pleasant grassy-sweet Zhejiang green, both from Norbu.
